In an issue of first impression Tuesday, the New Jersey Appellate Division held that the trial courts possess the power to rescind a certificate of dissolution and termination of a New Jersey limited liability company.

The case involved a company created in 2003, Shiv Hospitality LLC, which owns a Ramada Inn in Rutherford, as well as a liquor license. The LLC’s original members included Pritesh Joshi, Ghayoor Hussain and Bimal Patel. Over the years, amendments to the LLC’s members were recorded, including the addition of Bhavesh Pujara, according to the opinion.
